I agree with the use of the WIKI and GoogleOffice to teach them use of technology in practice. I do not think that they need it to learn this particular material. Is the purpose of employing the WIKI to learn use of technology in practice, or to learn this acedemic material?
Thanks!

ATTWN-Group Assignment #1

1.) Suspense-A feeling of excitement due to a problem about to be solved.
Foreshadowing-Clues or hints to a person or things future.

2.) Examples of suspense.
  1. "That's the lot," he muttered to himself. " EmilyBrent, Vera Claythrone, Dr. Armstrong, Anthony Marston, old Justice Wargrave, Philip Lombard, General Macarthur, C.M.G., D.S.O., Manservent and wife: Mr. and Mrs. Rogers." He closed the notebook and put it back in his pocket. pg. 13-14
  2. "Watch and pray," he said. " Watch and pray. The day of judgment is at hand." pg.15
  3. "She looks frightened of her own shadow." pg. 29
  4. I haven't seen Mrs. Owen-not yet. We only came here two days ago." pg. 29
  5. "Warm streaming water--- tired limbs---presently a shave--- a cocktail--- dinner. And after---?" pg. 36
3.) Examples of Foreshadowing.

1. The Ten Little Indians Poem pg. 30
2. Everything---somehow--- was a little queer. The absence of the Owens, the pale ghostlike Mrs. Rogers. And the guests! Yes, the guests were queer too. An oddly assorted party. pg.30
3. "Can't land on Indian Island when there's a southeasterly. Sometimes 'tis cut off for a week or more." pg. 27
4. "Remember this island when I was a kid. Never thought I would be doing this sort of job in a house here. Good thing, perhaps, that one can't foresee the future...." pg.36

Our group chose these because these passages of suspense made me want to read the book a little more. The suspense in this book is so good that I cannot stop reading this book, I am always like what's going to happen and where is it going to happen. The foreshadowing in this boo is also great. It helps me see what is going to happen next. We chose these passages because it gave us a clear image of what was going to happen next.
Christer- Your group did choose good examples of foreshadowing and suspense. However, I am not sure I agree with you that you "have a clear image of what was going to happen next". The foreshadowing suggests that something is going to happen, but the reader does not know what the 'thing' is. As the reader, you certainly can make predictions, but you don't know if you're right until you read more of the story. There might be false clues that make you predict something that is entirely wrong. That's the strategy involved in writing a good mystery novel.
